the effect of blood glucose level changes induced by 24h food deprivation and intraperitoneal (ip) injection of insulin (2iu/kg) and glucose (2gr/kg) was investigated on the pain induced by intraplantar (ipl) injection of formalin (20ml , 5%) in mice. blood glucose level changes were determined by blood sampling from the apex of the tail of mice. ip injection of insulin and 24h food deprivation...

The adult mammalian forebrain contains neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) that generate neurons throughout life. As in other somatic stem cell systems, NSCs are proposed to be predominantly quiescent and proliferate only sporadically to produce more committed progeny. However, quiescence has recently been shown not to be an essential criterion for stem cells. It is not known whether NSCs show ...

purpose: to evaluate the role of active uveitis on refractive errors changes. methods: a cohort single group study was conducted on patients with acute or recurrent uveitis. cyclorefraction was performed in both phases of active and quiescent. sphere, cylinder and sphere equivalent power were compared in active and quiescent phases and analyzed statistically. results: sixty-six patients (eighty...

Introduction As a tumor grows, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases and it grows further if acquires the ability to induce angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present a two-dimensional continuous mathematical model for avascular tumor growth, coupled with a discrete model of angiogenesis. Materials and Methods In the avascular growth model, tumor is considered as a single mass, wh...

Introduction Peripheral T cells in rats differ in their expression of the membrane determinants CD4, CD8, QCA-1, CD45R, RT6 and Thy-1 [l-51. So combining these markers makes it possible to identify a large number of phenotypically different subsets of peripheral T cells. The lineage relationships between these subsets are unknown. The presence or absence of CD4, CD8, CD45R or RT6 expression hav...

Linearizability is the de facto correctness criterion for concurrent data structures. Unfortunately, linearizability imposes a performance penalty which scales linearly in the number of contending threads. Quiescent consistency is an alternative criterion which guarantees that a concurrent data structure behaves correctly when accessed sequentially. Yet quiescent consistency says very little ab...

We consider partitionable networks with process crashes and lossy links, and focus on the problems of reliable communication and consensus for such networks. For both problems we seek algorithms that are quiescent, i.e., algorithms that eventually stop sending messages. We first tackle the problem of reliable communication for partitionable networks by extending the results of [ACT97a]. In part...
